Light at the end of the tunnel!
And it is NOT a train!
I sent out this email today, and boy do I feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders:
Dear Swizz's swimmers...
This is the LAST week of official swimming lessons for the year! I will start homeschooling my little boy next week and am looking forward to a great fall.For those of you who are interested in not losing those summer skills, I am offering a winter program! One or two "maintenance" lessons a month for as long as the water stays warm enough. If you are interested in the winter maintenance program, let me know. I will publish available dates and times, and those will be treated on a first come, first choice basis.
I have really enjoyed working with each and every swimmer this summer! Thank you for trusting me with your biggest blessings!
Swizz

Birthday pics...
Cute new shirt! |
JMonster picked out CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS...his idea! |
Twin Sister "M" opening her gifts...cooking related, of course! |
Hibachi cooking...we could feel the heat from 2 tables over! |
It is SO fun for them to cook right there at your table! Even made a volcano! |
JMonster's first attempt at chopsticks AND shrimp. Both went well... |
They SING for your birthday. They also play the drum for you. The timing was off, can't you tell by our faces below? |
At least they tried! |

Something funny JMonster said...
Preface- Tonight, as we were getting JMonster ready for bed, he announced he needed to use the restroom. Since that takes awhile The Rev decided to hop in the shower so he'd be clean for "snuggle time".
The story- JMonster, now sitting on the potty, says, "Mommy, did Daddy write down all of my message?"
Me (sitting on his stool, waiting for his business to be taken care of)- "Message? What message? What did it say?"
JM- In a voice letting you know he is giving dictation, "I know you are getting old, and..."
Me- "WHO is getting old?" Not that I'm sensitive or anything, but my birthday is on Sunday and I thought maybe he had been dictating his card to me earlier.
JM- "MeMe is. She is having bleeds like GMa." (Mom, I don't know WHAT he is talking about. Remember...he is FOUR!)
JM again- "Daddy? DID you get my message down?"
The Rev- "Buddy, what message is that?" (Remember, he is in the shower and not hearing all of this.)
JM- (Same voice of dictation as before.) "Don't even THINK about touching that ejection button! Woosh!" (Acting like he is pushing the button)
The Rev- "Hmmm...I'm not sure MeMe will LIKE that message!"
JM- "This message will self-destruct in..."
Me...rolling on the floor laughing. You can't imaging the TIMING of this interaction. The kid has talent! Some professional comedians don't have the skill this little one has.
P.S.- Every picture I looked at to crop as a close-up for this had JMonster with food all over his face. Hmmm...what does that say?
